After being embroiled in a prostitution scandal, Chinese actor Li Yifeng’s (李易峰) career has hit rock bottom and he is on the hook to repay compensation fees. In the aftermath of the scandal, a netizen revealed that the fallen actor was actually married to a prominent family who had significant influence and helped Li Yifeng cover up his past wrong-doings.
A netizen reportedly found and leaked a marriage certificate that showed Li Yifeng being married to a woman with the surname “Ren.” According to the netizen, Ms. Ren came from a powerful family and the couple signed a prenuptial agreement. Due to Ms. Ren’s family political influence, Li Yifeng often relied on Ms. Ren to skirt the law. The couple eventually filed for a divorce and the couple remained in contact. However, when Li Yifeng’s prostitution scandal came to light, Ms.Ren firmly cut Li Yifeng from her life.
While the leaked marriage may act as a proof of Li Yifeng’s marriage, some netizens argue that the marriage certificate may belong to someone else with the same name. Li Yifeng is only a stage name and a real marriage certificate would list his birth name, Li He (李贺). However, netizens pointed out that Yifeng’s ex-girlfriend Guo Ziyu (郭子瑜) previously confirmed the speculation in a response to netizen, “We broke up. Must I be linked with only one person my whole life? He is already married.”
In addition, netizens dug up an old interview where Li Yifeng responded to a question on when he was getting married: “I’m going to get married before I’m 35 years old. Maybe next month.” While the actor’s comment was treated as a joke, netizens now believe that Li Yifeng was either subtly revealing his marriage to the public or he was testing the waters before making a public announcement.
Li Yifeng’s Whereabouts
After being exposed for soliciting prostitution, a netizen shared that Li Yifeng is making his way back to hometown in Sichuan. No longer an A listed star, Li Yifeng looked dispirited and was not accompanied by his staff.
According to a source close to Li Yifeng, the actor was looking to sell his mansion in Beijing. The mansion is expected to fetch $40 million Chinese yuan and Li Yifeng would return to his hometown to plan his next step.
